Answer:

Probability that 100 or fewer of these Americans could only converse in one language is 0.8599.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study reported that 73% of Americans could only converse in one language.

A random sample of 130 Americans was randomly selected.

Let \hat p = <u><em>sample proportion of Americans who could only converse in one language.</em></u>

The z score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

                                 Z  =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion of Americans who could only converse in one language = 73%

           \hat p = sample proportion = \frac{100}{130} = 0.77

           n = sample of Americans = 130

Now, probability that 100 or fewer of these Americans could only converse in one language is given by = P( \hat p \leq 0.77)

      P( \hat p \leq 0.77) = P( \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \leq \frac{0.77-0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{130} } } ) = P(Z \leq 1.08) = <u>0.8599</u>                    

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.08 in the z table which has an area of 0.8599.

Brent purchased a used vehicle that depreciates under a straight-line method. The initial value of the car is $7500, and the sal
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Let the value of the vehicle be described by the equation
V = a + bx
where x =  number of years since purchase
a,b are constants.

When x = 0, V = $7500. Therefore
a + b*0 = 7500
a = 7500

When x = 7, V = $500. Therefore
7500 + 7b = 500
7b = 500 -7500 = -7000
b = -7000/7 = -1000

The equation is
V = 7500 - 1000x

The slope of this equation is the depreciation rate, and it is -$1000 per year.

Answer: $1000 depreciation per year.
